Austin is being taught by a professional falconer, about falconry, at Academie Duello. I know he is well impressed by this experience, as he continues to talk about it throughout the week.
Last Tuesday (Feb. 16), Skye and I were there with Aaron. We saw Austin wearing the falconer's glove and having a falcon perched on his finger. I heard the teacher compliment Austin on his knots, and praise him in front of the group, on how quickly he is learning the new skills.
Falconers have to practice being able to tie knots with one hand, while the bird is being held by the other hand. I'm sure Austin's experience with knots in sailing class, has served him well with this skill.
